:: Equipment tips ::

   POWER PLAYER'S SHOES
     If you are a power player, pick a heavier shoe with maximum cushioning and stability.

   FAST PLAYER'S SHOES

 

   Fast players should pick a lower cut or lightweight shoe that offers moderate support, cushioning and flexibility.

   INFLATING ENSURES BALL QUALITY
     Check if a ball was inflated by seeing is it bounces to 4ft/1.2m (measured to the top of the ball), when dropped from 6ft/1.8m (measured to the bottom of the ball). If a ball is over-inflated, it will wear more easily and make scoring more difficult.
    :: To prevent injuries ::

   COMFORT AND SUPPORT PREVENT INJURY
     Use comfortable shoes with good traction and support to prevent injury on the basketball court.

   BASKETBALL COURTS INCREASE KNEE INJURIES
   The hard surfaces of basketball courts leave many basketball players prone to knee injuries.
